When Windermere Pram Race would blow away the cobwebs! | The Westmorland Gazette
BY ANDREW THOMAS For many years people in Windermere marked the coming of the New Year with a fancy dress pram race around the town’s streets. It was a fun and colourful event that always drew the crowds on New Year’s Day. That was certainly the case in 1993 when unusually dry and mild weather attracted many people to line the streets to watch the spectacular race. The 18th pram race was organised by Windermere Lions Club. Twenty-three teams turned out in colourful perambulators of all shapes and sizes for the event, which was firmly fixed in Windermere’s social calendar.
